SHOUT HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD!

Do you know how rat poison works?  The poison is set out, the rat eats it and gradually, over time, the rat will bleed to death.  It is a slow, miserable, death.  Such is the state of the health care system in our nation today.  As of this morning, the House of Representatives passed "Obama's Death to Free Choice Health care Bill".  It is the first dose of poison on our way to the death of health care as we know it in our nation. 

More important than the passing of this bill are the much bigger, covert issues.  As citizens, we need to think very hard about these issues.  Diligence will be the ammunition in this fight and complacency, the enemy.  First, after a summer of countless Tea Party protests, the likes of which this country has not seen in decades; after myriad polls indicating that as many as 89% of Americans are satisfied with the current health care program - after America had spoken LOUD AND CLEAR, their government - let me repeat, their government - the government of the people, by the people and for the people; has ignored the demands of their bosses.  How does this differ from what took place in Iran over the past summer when the people of Iran protested the corrupt election in their country.  Their government refused to accept the will of the people too.

The President, the Speaker of the House; and Congress have perverted the Constitution of the United States and commited treason against their nation.  They have violated their oath to serve the people and do the will of the people.  They have committed the most haineous crime against the people and the Constitution they swore to serve!  If you do not consider this a coupe, what will it take?  Tanks in the streets?  Checkpoints?  Imprisonment of protesters?  Opposition?

This past week, we witnessed two traditionally democratic states turn conservative with the election of conservative governors.  This reinforced what I have always known - that Americans are generally a fiscally conservative people with moderate social views.  Moreover, they are not the far left socialists that the current administration represents.  So, one should wonder, why did this message not make it's way to the White House on Tuesday?  Some say it is arrogance.  Some believe that the current administration simply believes that Americans are stupid and will forget Tuesday's election by next November when the Congress is up for grabs.  It is a possibility, but if I were a sitting senator up for re-election next year, I would not want to take that bet.  So if it is not government arrogrance, than what is it?  I am not sure, but I have my theories.  Suffice to say, be vigilent, be vocal, be skeptical and be on-guard. 

We as Americans face many threats around the world.  Do not be too sure that the greatest threat to our soveriengty is not residing in our White House today.  We must continue to protest.  When the government ignores our protests, we must protest louder.  If they still do not listen, then we must get louder.  In 1776, we had the shot that was heard around the world.  In 2010, let's have the "SHOUT HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD"!
